Chapter 8 - Marcus Controlled Foundation Accounts
Marcus served as chief financial officer of the Hale Family Foundation.
That gave him authority over vendor payments.
Daniel’s attorney traced the questionable transfers.
The consulting companies were linked through layered registrations to
Marcus’s former college roommate.
Claire approved invoices.
Marcus released funds.
The amount was larger than Rachel knew.
Nearly $1.7 million over four years.
Daniel asked Claire whether she received any of it.
She admitted Marcus paid her.
She called it compensation.
Investigators called it something requiring much closer examination.
Claire insisted Rachel’s death had nothing to do with the money.
Rachel died after her car left a rain-slick road.
Police ruled it an accident.
Daniel felt dangerous questions forming.
His attorney stopped him.
“Evidence first.”
Daniel agreed.
There was no proof anyone caused Rachel’s crash.
But there was proof Rachel had discovered financial misconduct shortly
before she died.
